sweet little jesus boy

sweet little jesus boy

they made you be born in a manger

sweet little holy child

we didn't know who you were

didn't know you'd come to save us

lord

to take our sins away

our eyes were blind

we could not see

we didn't know who you were

long time ago

you were born

born in a manger

lord

sweet little jesus boy

the world treats you mean

lord

treats me mean too

but that's how things are down here

we don't know who you are

you have told us how we are trying

master

you have shown us how even when you were dying

just seems like we can't do right

look how we treated you

but please sir

forgive us

lord

we didn't know it was you

sweet little jesus boy

born a long time ago

sweet little holy child

we didn't know who you were
